Virtual Agent Gives Real Estate Professionals an Extra Edge

An innovative web-based marketing tool is providing Realtors? and other real estate professionals in Las Vegas and around the country with instant property data to potential clients.

Known as Virtual Agent, the service, introduced by Las Vegas-based SkyWire Media, Inc., is also easy to use. The Virtual Agent platform lets buyers choose the information they want ? and how they want it delivered to them from a standard, automated telephone prompt.

When a consumer dials (866) 831-8621 – SkyWire Media?s toll free phone number – they are prompted to enter a property code (punch in 123 after dialing the toll-free number to hear a demo). The property code, in conjunction with the toll free phone number, can be used on Virtual Agent rider yard signs as well as in print and web advertisements. The Virtual Agent system will then deliver the property information, including up to six photographs to the potential homebuyer?s mobile phone.

Buyers can also take advantage of several other Virtual Agent system options. These include the ability to listen to a detailed description of the property, listen to agent recorded remarks about the property, as well as requesting to be immediately transferred to the agent?s phone for additional information or to schedule an appointment.

Key advantages for real estate professionals include:

Receive email as well as text message notifications of new activity on properties

The notifications provide detailed information on the potential homebuyer, which results in more credible leads

Users can log in to an online account at wwwskywireva.com to review leads, order new yard signs, archive sold properties and more.

Virtual Agent utilizes both SMS text messaging and IVR technologies that help enhance the marketing potential for real estate agents. Anytime real estate professionals have an active buyer accessing a Virtual Agent-enabled listing, they are notified either via mobile SMS, email, or both. It automates the pre-sales experience so the agent can spend more time closing deals. Virtual Agent also dynamically creates web page feature sheets for each listing.

The service is cost-effective for users, eliminating paper flyers that are expensive and generally provide a low number of leads.
